This was fantastic, amazing and I'm truly impressed by your ability as a writer. Death as the narrator works so well, and you keep the voice clear and consistent. Kudos to you! I'm off to read the rest of your stuff now...

Wow, that was all kinds of amazing. I like how they both died from a case, it sort of fits. I never could imagine that Sherlock Holmes would quietly retire (ACD wrote that he did), though having him being killed by a criminal is also really sad...

Have you read "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak? It's from Death's POV and I think you'd like it. The opening chapters if nothing else.

I really liked this story. It was very interesting to see it told from death's perspective, and the ending was bittersweet but good.

Oh my goodness. That was freaking amazing. I still want to know what happened next! Did Sherlock go through some kind of angst trauma? Does he get to meet Death, who seems to be pretty awesome? Anyways, you're a great writer. Keep going! I'll be reading, despite the fact I'm supposed to be studying. :P
